Definitions

  • the second and the third component are configured to provide the hardened composition with different physical properties, in particular different colorings, different hardnesses, different E-modules, and/or different translucencies.
  • the hardenable or hardened composition mixed from the first and second component may have a different color/translucency than the hardenable or hardened composition mixed from the first and the third component.
  • the color/translucency of the hardenable/hardened composition can be controlled.
  • Fig. 2 shows the object, in the example a precursor of a dental crown 210, built up from the hardenable composition.
  • the dental crown precursor 210 was built up directly on the support structure (the replica of the tooth prepared to receive the dental crown). Because the hardenable dental composition is dispensed having a generally liquid or pasty consistency before it hardens, the composition first deposited to the support structure precisely conforms to the shape of the support structure independent from any accuracy the system provides for positioning the nozzle 14 and the support structure relative to each other. Accordingly, the final dental crown can be provided with a precisely shaped interface to the tooth stump of the patient.
  • the support structure may be proportionally three-dimensionally oversized to account for an adhesive to be arranged between the crown and the tooth stump in the patient's mouth.
